(1953) The Glass Wall SUSPENSE

The set up takes place after WWII that has displaced Hungarian immigrant, Peter Kaban (Vittorio Gassman) wanting to become an American citizen. And as a lack of identification and because of protocol, he was then told he was neither permitted nor granted citizenship, that he would have to be sent back. So as a result, and out of desperation, he escapes from the ship he was boarded on to NYC just so he can find this American soldier he had personally had saved, who is said supposed to be a professional clarinet player. Gloria Grahame also stars as the down on her luck girl, Maggie who he seeks help from. "The Glass Wall" as the movie is referring to is the slang for the UN building located in New York.
